"This show is an amazing journey through Frank Sinatra's music, cast
with some of today's greatest artists," said three-time GRAMMY winner Don
Was, music director for the concert. "In paying homage to Mr.
Sinatra's music and treating his legacy with the utmost respect, most of
the artists will sing arrangements as originally crafted for Mr. Sinatra
by giants Don Costa, Gordon Jenkins, Quincy Jones, and Nelson Riddle.
It's going to be an incredible show!"

Among Sinatra's nine GRAMMY wins are three for Album Of The Year for Come
Dance With Me (1959), September Of My Years (1965)and A
Man And His Music (1966).Additional recognition from The
Recording Academy includes a Lifetime Achievement Award, GRAMMY Legend
Award, and 13 recordings inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame®.
